The Sensex rarely opens in a vacuum — overnight developments in global markets routinely shape how the first few minutes of trade unfold.
Strong or weak closes on major US indices overnight often set the tone for how Asian and Indian markets open the next morning, particularly during periods of global risk-on or risk-off sentiment.
Since Asian markets open before India, their early trading session offers a real-time read on regional sentiment heading into the Sensex open.
Overnight moves in crude oil and the US Dollar can also influence sector-specific sentiment at the open, particularly for oil-sensitive and export-oriented sectors.
